EMMA HANKEY, 13, ANDOVER - "The youth club is a good idea because it gets us off the estate and stops us messing around and causing riots on the street. It's also only 50p, which is really cheap for two hours. You play pool and there's a computer. I enjoy coming, it's a place to chill with your mates. So if the youth club gets closed down there will be more riots"
